The Beardbrand "Movember: How Much Do You Know?" chart documents a series of facial hair facts that will come in handy as November comes to a close. In celebration of Movember, the graphic examines the history of the mustache as well as the dedicated prostate cancer movement.
According to the statistics listed, 900,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008. This high number is further exacerbated by the fact that at the moment, there aren't any tests that accurately diagnose varying types of prostate cancer. In response, the diagram recommends preventative measures such as limited alcohol usage and the maintenance of a healthy weight.
A series of fun facts are also listed, adding some lighter notes to the diagram. Based on the data, the mustache dates back to at least 300 B.C. when it was first documented in Iran.
